In addition to Board records there are subgroups for subcommittees on Biological Resources, Limnology Task Force, Mine Development, Water Quality and Quantity, and Water Uses. The bulk of the collection consists of committee and board reports (1985-1988), which include editorial comments for the various technical drafts. The correspondence (1984-1991) between technicians and bureaucrats and their comments on various reviews, provides insight into the workings of Montana and British Columbia resource agencies and conflicts between the U.S. and Canada over resource development. Also significant are the public hearing transcripts (1985-1988), documenting public perceptions of resource issues.
